Players can take satisfaction in zapping four types of corrupt officials. There's one with hearts for eyes and a lascivious mouth, representing the string of bureaucrats who have been caught in sex scandals over the past year. Another mischievously wields a red stamp, used in China to approve documents, likely symbolizing abuse of power. The third stealthily passes a bag of cash, while the last grasps for money -- giving and receiving bribes.

The game represents an uncharacteristically light touch for the Party's anti-corruption messaging.

As People's Daily says in its message to players: “Everyone has a responsibility to fight corruption and embezzlement!"
